My Favorite Kind of Tuna Salad

Serve the tuna salad immediately on a bed of greens, in a sandwich, or with crackers.

If you prefer, you can also serve it as a filling for wraps or lettuce cups.

Store any leftover tuna salad in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.

Variations

For a creamier texture, add more mayonnaise or a bit of Greek yogurt.

For a crunchier version, include some chopped celery or bell peppers.

Spice things up by adding a little hot sauce or cayenne pepper.

FAQ

Can I use a different type of mustard?
Yes, you can substitute Dijon mustard with yellow mustard, honey mustard, or any type of mustard you prefer.

Can I make this ahead of time?
Absolutely! Tuna salad can be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator for later. It actually tastes even better after the flavors have had time to meld together.

Can I freeze tuna salad?
Tuna salad is not ideal for freezing, as the mayonnaise and other ingredients can separate and become watery once thawed. It’s best to enjoy it fresh or stored in the fridge for up to 2 days.
